What is wrong with this hypothesis?

Posted on 30 July 2012 by | Leave a comment

Is there anything wrong* with Calvin’s hypothesis and/or experimental design (click-through for full protocol)?

*The answer “Thou shall not tempt the Lord your God” will not be accepted. Really, what is the point of omnipotence if you can’t be tempted**. BOOOORRRRING.

**Can God make something so tempting that God is tempted?

Josh
